• C. Sana said that she must visit the Taj Mahal the previous day.
• D. Sana said that she would have visited the Taj Mahal the previous day.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Sana said that she had visited the Taj Mahal the previous day.

Yesterday’ changes to ‘The previous day.’ Past simple (Subject+V2+Object) changes to Past perfect (Subject+had+V3+Object) The sentence thus formed is – Sana said that she had visited the Taj Mahal the previous day.
